Nigel Farage portrays his Reform UK party as a unique phenomenon that has burst on to the global stage, its meteoric rise an exceptional epochal event. But this week, in every one of Europe's major countries and from India and Thailand to the US and Argentina, hard-right, anti-immigrant, anti-globalisation parties like his are also ahead in the opinion polls. In last Saturday's Czech elections, the rightwing, pro-Putin populist Andrej Babis toppled prime minister Petr Fiala.
Launched in 2024, the non-denominational evangelical group describes itself as a "spiritual army" combatting so-called "sin, cultural decay, and darkness" by "making disciples" and "raising soldiers." In a video posted by right-wing lobbyists Turning Point UK (TPUK), a section of the group blocked traffic in the middle of the LGBTQ+ street while chanting "Jesus saves" to visibly confused passers by.
However, people like Anya Lacey are part of a new spectrum of tradwives with OnlyFans accounts. That is, conservative housewives who show off their naked bodies on social media and make a lot of money doing so. Does your dad know about your job? You're a Christian but you have OnlyFans! Lacey, who is 19, asserts in a TikTok video that makes it clear she's aware of the contradiction her persona contains. We all have phones, we all have social media.
I've known this really since the first second, but I rarely have vivid dreams, and I did in fact have a very vivid one over the weekend. In fact, last time that I had a super vivid dream, I was pregnant. It tends to happen a lot to women when they're pregnant. Owens claimed that in 2023, it was revealed to her in a dream that her then-producer was pregnant with a baby boy.
as Candace Owens, Tucker [Carlson], etc. spread their Jews control everything' propaganda on the right, it isn't really Qatar that benefits, but China, wrote Erickson in a post on X. The Chinese have stirred the antisemitic pot, adjusted the TikTok algorithm to amplify antisemitism, etc.. All the people on the right suddenly blaming the Jews are not looking at China and the voices spreading the propaganda are silent on China and its influence operations, he added.
The title of Ross Douthat's podcast is characteristically absent of a value judgment. It's called Interesting Times, rather than Foreboding Times, Quixotic Times, or Bleak Times -which is an indication of where he stands. At the tumultuous end of the American Century, Douthat is prepared to hear everyone out. Interesting Times is an interview show. On it, Douthat hosts a slew of rabble-rousers and firebrands from across the political spectrum-think Steve Bannon and Hasan Piker-and peppers them with questions about how they've developed their ideology.
The South African populist, nationalist and anti-immigration group "Operation Dudula" is once more making headlines, having recently launched a campaign targeting migrant children. By arguing that there are not enough school placements for South African children, the overtly xenophobic group has called for the exclusion of migrant children from public schools. Operation Dudula is known for its head-turning publicity stunts. Members of the group have, for instance,blocked access to public hospitals for foreignersin the country, saying they should not use facilities funded by taxpayers' money.
"Hate the sin, love the sinner" is a concept even devout Christians often find challenging. But what if the sin is hate, the sinner is a hater, and your whole redemption-free religion is based on the hatred of hate? What if we are all sinners in the hands of an angry podcaster? This is the deep theological discourse that can be provoked only by the author and essayist Ta-Nehisi Coates, who made a joyless noise unto the Lord in the direction of the slain conservative political activist Charlie Kirk.
Hamas responded to President Donald Trump's Gaza proposal in a statement posted to Telegram on Friday, agreeing to negotiate the release of Israeli hostages, alive or dead, and hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to an independent body "based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support".
My brother is almost 90, a Repub for years, and a committed Trumpie from the beginning. He knows he is looking at his sunset and will die a Trumpie. He dismisses, rationalizes, or denies every critical fact about Trump. No fact, no failure, nor any reversal of policy by any court causes him pause. He only watches FOX. He has successfully alienated his wife, two very adult children, siblings, relatives, and friends who are not Trumpies.
In the clip, a transmasculine character with freckles and a cropped blue haircut says, "I'm trans, Norma. And everyone at school knows, and everyone at home knows, and being here, it's like a whole new place. I can just be Barney, and I can choose if and when I tell people. I've never been happier ... Pugsley reminded me how important it is to live your life without apology."
[Bragg's office], they favor criminals over victims," Craven Antao told "Fox & Friends" co-host Ainsley Earhardt, faulting Bragg's office for putting "a simple law school graduate in charge of my case." "They failed to file a certificate of readiness. So, because the evidence was not presented, it timed out within that 90 days," the content creator continued. "I believe it was [on purpose].
That was crazy. Dude, when Tucker Carlson got up at Charlie Kirk's funeral, when they were lowering his coffin into the ground, and he got up on the microphone and said, I'm really sick of these f*cking hukus-eating, hook-nose, money-changing, penny-pitching, Christ-killing Jews that poison the wells in the Middle Ages.' You know, I thought that was overkill, Fuentes began, embellishing Carlon's actual words at the event.
Three years later, the situation has changed completely, and precisely thanks to figures like Bruesewitz. This consultant, barely 27 years old, is an advisor to Donald Trump and was one of the architects of the podcast interview strategy that positioned the current president among young people under 30 during the 2024 election campaign. Between June and October, Trump gave 18 interviews on these platforms, while his rival, Kamala Harris, appeared in only four.
One group whose conference Colonel John Eidsmoe addressed, the Council for Concerned Citizens (CCC), was credited by racist mass murderer Dylann Roof for contributing to the radicalization of his views on race, which culminated in his deadly attack on Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in June 2015. The LCMS is the second-largest Lutheran body in the United States after the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
It's the latest settlement reached by a tech company sued by Trump in the wake of the Capitol riots. In January, Meta paid the president $25 million over Facebook's and Instagram's decision to suspend Trump after Jan. 6. Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, paid out $10 million over similar allegations. Free speech experts have said the trio of suits brought by Trump did not raise credible legal claims, since First Amendment protections typically apply to government officials, not private companies, censoring speech.
As character creators get better, people are making nearly 1:1 recreations of celebrities , characters from other games, and digital versions of themselves . That is normally all well and good, but now players have started recreating Charlie Kirk, the right-wing commentator who was assassinated at Utah Valley University earlier this month, and they're using the basketball game's tattoo options to add, well, another detail to the recreation.
It's not just that [Nigel] Farage wants less workers' rights and all those things. Even though he poses as something else, he is now part of a global network of the far right, a global network of billionaires like Elon Musk who want to take away people's rights, take away people's freedoms, and we need to have that argument.
After the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk - one that I unequivocally found to be unconscionable, unacceptable, and sickening - I thought about his wife and children. I am married, and I have children. I can't imagine the unspeakable sorrow that Kirk's wife and children must be experiencing. So, I will continue to mourn his death and their loss. I do so because I believe in love, forgiveness, and the sanctity of human life. I also believe in the First Amendment. So, here we are.
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that on October 1sthe will slap steep tariffs on big trucks, household furnishings, and pharmaceuticals. Trump announced the new policy in a series of posts on Truth Social. In the post about pharmaceuticals, the president said his administration "will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America."
In late July, the President launched his AI action plan. Packaged with three accompanying executive orders, the plan's first order of business is to "remove red tape and onerous regulation," including the overturning of the Biden administration's executive order on AI, which emphasized harm-prevention, guardrails, and government capacity-building. One very specific "guardrail" that the Trump administration has demolished is "woke AI"-AI that is trained to avoid the truth in favor of politically correct shibboleths.
Today, I choose violence, he wrote. Literally. I know calls for violence are generally frowned upon, he added. The issue is I simply don't care. Ingersoll's argument was that the cost of anti-social and subversive behavior was not high enough, and in his opinion, some of this cost needs to be summary and ultra-violent. The law is not enough, he declared, and reiterated that he was literally calling for violence, writing, Is this a call for violence? Yes. Explicitly it is.
These are the words and images the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is using to recruit more than 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents by the end of the year, which would make it the largest law enforcement agency in the federal government. DHS is also offering signing bonuses of $50,000, student loan repayment and starting salaries as high as $80,000.
A self-proclaimed "MAGA Dentist" is facing backlash after a video of her joking about turning down pain-relieving gas for liberal patients at her Santa Clarita clinic blew up online. Dr. Harleen Grewal of Skyline Smiles made this quip and other wisecracks about her distaste for left-leaning clients during a speech at the Republican Liberty Gala in 2021, comments that recently attracted mass attention after a video of the speech went viral on TikTok.
